"It was a dark and stormy night." Thus begins this tale of murder on Old Highway 66, down Sapulpa way. In my book, William Sanders is one of The Great American Writers. He even makes that taboo (according to English lit majors) intro shine! In this series, Taggart Roper, potential writer of The Great American Novel, moonlights as a Private Investigator to keep his pot boiling. This time out, Roper is reluctantly assisting his former `60's music idol, Hondo Loomis - who can't play as well as he used to due to losing an arm in an accident. Hondo now owns The Flying Tiger Club - complete with the John Wayne Movie Poster and that old World War II plane relic Up On the Roof - out on Old 66. Is someone attempting blackmail? Why? The pacing and characterizations are grabbing and the writing sublime. Come away with him, Lucille!Reviewed by TundraVision
